Colorimetric silica analyzer for boiler
CA-6 Series
Electro-Chemical Devices ECD
When boiler water is contaminated with silica, scaling can occur. Silica picked up by boiler steam can be deposited on generator turbines and lead to blade corrosion and diminished boiler efficiency. Effective monitoring of silica levels in boiler water helps to determine how well a boiler's demineralizer system is working, protecting equipment and ensuring that power generation systems are functioning as safely and economically as possible.
The CA-6 Analyzer is available in models measuring silica at 0-1.0 mg/L, 0-10.0 mg/L or 0-60 mg/L. It can also utilize photometric differential absorbance to analyze over 20 other common parameters in addition to silica including: aluminum, phosphate, nitrogen, iron and sulfate. It operates at a wide temperature range of 5-50°C and offers repeatability of ±2% on the absorbance value if the turbidity <80 NTU and drift of ±2% per month on the absorbance measurement.
